Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students love curling up with a good book during their learning centers. I want to increase their love of reading by giving them more reading material & non-fiction books to dig into.

They love exploring new facts about animals and illustrating and writing about their new learning.

I also want to make sure that all my students can access non-fiction books no matter what their reading levels!

I want to create the right atmosphere to help them dive into their books. The right lighting, music, and books will make all the difference to help them transport them into the magical learning with books.

And who doesn't love new books?!
